Podcast appearances and mentions of Theodore Dalrymple

Lost in storiesIs life a story or a sequence of events?Our narratives enable us to make sense of the complex, often confusing, world that we live in. And yet there is a risk that rather than helping us to truly understand this world, narratives can hide reality from us, providing delusional states of mind in its place. From witch hunts to cults, from war propaganda to religious honour killings, people are prepared to kill and die for stories they believe in, while others see these narratives as wildly false illusions.Matthew Beaumont is Professor of English at University College London, UK and the author of several books, including two on the topic of late nineteenth-century utopianism. He has also edited several essay collections and published numerous articles in scholarly journals.Ruth Padel is a poet, broadcaster, and critic whose engagement with the natural world infuses her volumes of poetry, nature writing, biography, and criticism.Theodore Dalrymple is the pen-name for Anthony Malcolm Daniels, an English cultural critic, prolific writer, satirist, prison physician, and psychiatrist.

In this ITEST webinar entitled "A New Understanding of Quantum Mechanics: Back to Aristotle and Aquinas" Dr. Robert Kurland, Kenneth Francis, and Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, discuss metaphysics, epistemology, and quantum physics. (August 17, 2024)In the order of appearance,Sebastian Mahfood, OP, PhD, "Introduction to Aristotelian-Thomistic Metaphysics"Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, Director of ITEST, is a Lay Dominican of the Province of Saint Albert the Great. He has served as a professor of intercultural and interdisciplinary studies in theological education for over two decades. In 2021, he transitioned full-time to developing his publishing house, En Route Books and Media, LLC, and his radio station, WCAT Radio, the missions of which are to promote the Catholic spiritual journey in the provision of resources that assist in the formation of priests and laity. He lives in St. Louis with his wife, Dr. Stephanie Mahfood, and children, Alexander and Eva Ruth.Abstract“All men by nature desire to know. An indication of this is the delight we take in our senses” – so begins Aristotle's Metaphysics, less a metaphysical statement than an epistemological one, but it sets the tone for everything that follows in terms of the third level of abstraction, being qua being, since it indicates the hylomorphic nature of man as both spiritual and material. The immaterial mind learns when the body, formed by the soul, perceives through its senses an ambient reality, generating a phantasm which no longer relies on the sensory impression. One need only touch fire once, for example, to get the idea of “hot.” Are there ways in which metaphysics can help us understand quantum mechanics? Certainly! And that is the subject of this talk.Kenneth Francis, "God and Quantum Theory "Kenneth Francis is a freelance journalist and Contributing Editor at New English Review. For the past 30 years, he has worked as an editor in various publications and print media, as well as a university professor in journalism. He also holds an MA in Theology and is the author of The Little Book of God, Mind, Cosmos and Truth (St Pauls Publishing); The Terror of Existence: From Ecclesiastes to Theatre of the Absurd (with Theodore Dalrymple); and Neither Trumpets Nor Violins (with Theodore Dalrymple and Samuel Hux).AbstractIn understanding the universe, it seems that quantum theory, according to most physicists, is the final mysterious frontier of cosmic science. If so, I believe that this boundary can only be understood fully by a Mind possessing omniscience: God. The serpent in the Garden of Eden successfully conned Adam and Eve into believing they could achieve omniscience, and we all know what happened after that mother-of-all conceited errors. I often wonder did the serpent also tempt the ‘Adam and Eve' scientists in Switzerland's ‘Garden of CERN', with its Large Hadron Collider in search of the so-called ‘God particle'. Even Mary Shelly's novel Frankenstein was written by the shores of Lake Geneva, next door to CERN, with its potential for creating another Frankenstein's monster.​Robert Kurland, PhD, "A ‘New' Understanding of Quantum Mechanics: Back to Aristotle and Aquinas"Dr. Robert Kurland (a convert to Catholicism in 1995) is a retired physicist who has applied magnetic resonance to problems of biological interest in his research (web search: “Kurland-McGarvey Equation”). He began to learn about quantum mechanics at Caltech (BS, “with honor,” 1951) and Harvard (MS,1953; Ph.D.,1956) from courses taught by Richard Feynman and Julian Schwinger. In teaching quantum mechanics to students at Carnegie-Mellon University and SUNY/AB he found that mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics was an obstacle to understanding. So, in his talk he will try to explain what quantum mechanics is about using a minimum of mathematics, as he did in his book Mysteries: Quantum and Theological.AbstractIn this talk, I'll give a brief, qualitative, pictorial explanation of quantum mechanics, from a historical perspective. Two mysteries of quantum mechanics (behavior not in accord with our everyday intuition), the wavelike nature of particles, and entanglement, will be illustrated in simple examples. I'll examine how philosophers of science have recently used two concepts, actus (actus essendi) and potentia, to explain these mysteries and put them into a context of Aristotelian/Thomistic metaphysics.

To be addicted to something, you've got to… er, actually, what does it mean to be “addicted” to something? We all agree you can be addicted to heroin, but can you also be addicted to videogames, or sex, or listening to podcasts? And actually, it turns out we don't all agree you can be addicted to heroin - or, at least, people have very different models of what that means. In what is effectively an hour-long clarification of a throwaway comment in a previous episode, Tom and Stuart talk through the various aspects of addiction, and try to pin down the scientific definition of what turns out to be a strangely elusive concept.The Studies Show is brought to you by Works in Progress magazine, whose recent issue covers its usual mix of science, technology, and policy ideas to help with human flourishing.

Over the bleached bones and jumbled residue of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words: "Too late." -MLK Jr, 1967 Mayor Eric Adams has said that illegal immigration will "destroy" New York. My question is why are the feds sending them? An influential Minnesota Democrat is now a law-and-order enthusiast after thugs broke her leg. But why is there such a failure of empathy on the left for victims of crime before they themselves are battered? "It is easier to forgive the evil done to others than to forgive the evil done to oneself, especially if in the first place we don't really like those others to whom the evil is done." -Theodore Dalrymple

Where religion is compulsory, I am an atheist; but where religion is forbidden, I am a believer.  –Theodore Dalrymple   Saira Rao is an antiwhite bigot.  So what?  Well, Andrew Yang endorsed her.  Antiwhite hatred is a zero to the left.   Just as a man can commit suicide due to guilt, so can a nation.

“We look on past ages with condescension, as a mere preparation for us… but what if we are a mere after-glow of them?”  -JG Farrell   I would like my kid to go to a school where they paddle but I don't think that's a thing.   It's unnerving how many things lasted from Christ (or longer) until twelve minutes ago.   The death penalty. Spare the rod spoil the child. Marriage being lifelong. Marriage being exclusively hetero. Swift criminal punishments. Etc   "No doubt Christianity has much to answer for in its long history, but the sight of an age-long tradition treated in this way filled me with disgust. It is one thing for traditions to die out of themselves; it is quite another for them to be killed by men who think they know everything, by men whose vengeance extends even to the past, even to the dead."  –Theodore Dalrymple

I believe that it is both foolish and wicked to have children by men without having considered even for a second or a fraction of a second whether the men have any qualities that might make them good fathers. Mistakes are possible, of course: a man may turn out not to be as expected. But not even to consider the question is to act as irresponsibly as it is possible for a human being to act. It is knowingly to increase the sum of evil in the world, and sooner or later the summation of small evils leads to the triumph of evil itself. –Theodore Dalrymple A six-year-old has shot his teacher in the chest. Supposedly, this is a problem with guns. But I don't think so. Dr. Scott Gottlieb of Pfizer sought Twitter censorship of critics of his company's vaccine. And got it. And now is playing the victim! An assertion of fact in whose contradiction no one would for a moment believe is not worth making. –Theodore Dalrymple

When you study Thomas Sowell, you are inevitably introduced to other intellectuals Sowell cites in his books. These are the thinkers Sowell looks up to and draws inspiration from.  One such thinker is the British Psychiatrist Theodore Dalrymple.In this episode we explore Dalrymple's book "Life At The Bottom" and what it has to teach us about the ideas which perpetuate poverty and other social pathologies in the British underclass and what lessons we can draw for a deeper understanding of the American underclasses. We interview "Britain's Strictest Headmistress" Katharine Birbalsingh about Sowell and Dalrymple and how these two thinkers have influenced her educational philosophy.

This was one of my favorite conversations on this podcast, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Anthony's recommended subversive is Simon Leys, an essayist, and sinologist, one of the first intellectuals to denounce the Cultural Revolution in China and the idolizing of Mao in the West. Anthony Daniels, who is more well known by his pseudonym, Theodore Dalrymple, is a retired prison physician and psychiatrist and the author of many, many wonderful books, among them “Life at the Bottom” and “Our culture, what's left of it." --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aksubversive/message

"All those who do not follow the line that I have set out will be smashed." -Ho Chi Minh I bought the book "Requiem," a book about wars in Indochina in the postwar period. What I got was Communist propaganda. "This, of course, lays bare the curious moral stance of our age: it is not wrong to bash an innocent woman to death with a brick, but it is wrong to condemn the deed and its perpetrators." -Theodore Dalrymple

“Those who oppose Reagan cite, exhibiting traditional American ingenuity, almost everything they can think to say against him."  -William F Buckley I have a final thought about Shinzo Abe:  National leaders are many things, but not cowards.  I explain. Lebron James (moron) wonders if he were rotting in a Russian jail if he'd even want to come back to the USA.  He's incredibly dense.  And probably Smolletted himself! A USA Today Poll in Detroit showed black residents were overwhelmingly more concerned about public safety than about "police reform."  White residents were more concerned about police reform. “In [totalitarianism] shortages of material goods, even of necessities, were not a drawback but a great advantage for the rulers. These shortages were not accidental to the terror, but one of its most powerful instruments. Not only did shortages keep people's minds strictly on bread and sausage, and divert their energies to procuring them so that there was no time or inclination left over for subversion…”  -Theodore Dalrymple

Ralston College presents a lecture delivered on March 17th, 2022 by Theodore Dalrymple (aka Anthony Daniels) on H. G. Wells's extraordinary 'scientific romance,' 'The Time Machine'.  A brilliant seer and prophet with a very pessimistic view of humanity, Wells was, nevertheless, a naive and shallow political thinker. The two sides of his mind—the artistic and the ideological; the 'unofficial' and the 'official'—were in conflict. In his writings and personal life, Wells embodied the cultural and philosophical schisms underlying the most important political and sociological questions of our time.  Wells's prescient insights, and troubling self-contradictions point to deep questions at the heart of human nature.

It's a lot easier to try to appear as a good person than to actually live as a good person. Paul Rosenberg explains why in his essay about how a Twitter mob is a religious experience. Social media has made virtue signaling the path of least resistance. Robin Koerner has a great take on how signaling turns virtue into vice. If you wish to make a difference, this is worth understanding. Whether you grew up in a railroad town or not, you likely understood the desire to not be from the "wrong side of the tracks." Annie Holmquist has a fresh take on this concept as it applies to the trades vs. college. The "convenience" of a cashless society will be a major part of how it's sold to us. But don't be fooled. Peter Caddle says a cashless society would leave millions of people struggling. How would you prioritize what has been lost over the past couple of years? Chet Richards says America is suffering from a gigantic loss of trust and restoring it isn't going to be easy. Maintaining one's sense of perspective can be a challenge even when things are going well. It's much harder to do during times of crisis. Lewis Dovland reminds us to keep the Big Picture in mind. China is bringing back lockdowns and, in Shanghai, it's more intense than before. Jordan Schachtel wonders what's up with Wuhan 2.0. Is it a psyop or are they true believers? Making fun of preppers has been a favorite pastime for many folks who consider it the realm of conspiracy kooks. Theodore Dalrymple wonders if a new age of hardship might soften our views of the self-reliant.

Have you seen the image of that woman during President Trump's 2017 inauguration who threw back her head and screamed “NOOO!” like Luke Skywalker did when he found out Darth Vader was his father? Well, the woman has since become a meme. And while it's always unacceptable to ridicule or belittle anyone made in the image of God, I remember an insightful remark about this woman's show of emotion.          For her and for many others, the 2016 electoral results meant that hope itself was lost. For those who gnashed their teeth at the inauguration, politics had taken on the role of religion in their lives.          January's cover story of TIME magazine all but admits this, although the hope is noticeably revived. Charlotte Alter, the author of the forthcoming book “The Ones We've Been Waiting For,” makes no effort to hide the fact that for many millennials, political reform has become a kind of gospel—and they its evangelists.          In a few years, writes Alter, millennials will be a majority of the electorate, and with historically favorable views of socialism, low views of organized religion, and liberal views on sex and gender, the up-and-coming generation looks ready to reverse what older voters have tried to accomplish by electing conservatives.          Alter is not only okay with this, she's more than okay. Her tone throughout the TIME article is triumphant. She can't wait for millennial leaders and voters to transform America, nor does she expect their zeal to lessen, even as they age.          The odd thing throughout the article is that Alter never bothers to argue that these ultra-liberal views are true. For her, young voters' passion to “change to world,” together with the fact that they're young, are all the evidence she needs to know that they're right.          If millennials' and Gen Z's political views are near-religious, then the devotion to that religion that Alter describes and reflects can be called a cult of adolescence. I used that term last year on BreakPoint after 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg was applauded for shouting, “How dare you?” at a room of adults at the United Nations. It's also the same cult we saw after the Parkland high school students slammed adults as ignorant and lazy for not passing the gun control laws they wanted.          Writing at First Things last month, Theodore Dalrymple compares the activism of millennial progressives with an account by a young Marxist who traveled to Syria to fight for ISIS. Like this recruit to totalitarian ideology, Dalrymple thinks the rising generation of American voters is seeking more from politics than just good laws. They're seeking salvation—they're seeking a cure for the world's evils, and an escape from what feels like a meaningless existence. Having abandoned any hope that these things will come from God, they're left hitching their hopes to the next election, to the next Supreme Court ruling, or the next session of Congress.          “There is an evangelical tone to their declarations,” Dalyrmple writes, “a sorting of the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats, the saved from the damned. They do not merely want formal changes...[t]hey demand a reform of the human heart and intend to bring it about.”          But of course, politics can never deliver those things. For those who look to activism and policy to fill what Dalrymple calls their “existential void,” the only thing worse than losing elections might be winning them.          I don't know whether Alter is right about the way millennials will vote in the long-term. If there's one thing we've learned in the last few years, political pundits struggle to predict the future. Whenever they tell us an outcome is inevitable that's almost reason alone to doubt it.          But what is inevitable, I'm much more certain, is disappointment for anyone who makes politics their religion. As Christians who have answer that actually can satisfy and a gospel that actually can change hearts and the world, we should see in that disappointment a chance for truth and love, not for gloating.
